Brief Profile:
I want my profile to be a useful tool for future applicants.

I attended 9 interviews while in my senior year of undergrad. The interview process really got to me after a while, and my burnout definitely showed in some of my interviews. I grew and learned a lot from this experience. I ended up with 3 acceptances and a few waitlists, which is a pretty good margin to deal with. I am now attending medical school and loving it.

Summary of Experience:

Decided to withdraw my application. I waited too long to start working on the secondary, and as a person from the Midwest, my chances of getting in aren't that good to begin with. Should have started earlier on it, it's a shame that i didn't plan better.

Summary of Experience:

I had an awful cold. Moreover, this was only my second interview. Went pretty bad, I was totally nervous. (Later rejected, unsurprisingly). Also, everyone at this school is a hipster. If you interview here, try to look cool. Wear tortoise-shell glasses. Talk about Mad Men and the meaning of life. Think of a book you read recently so you can talk about it and seem cultured.

Summary of Experience:

Interview was easy for me. I've heard people having really tough interviews at this school. They like to pick at your transcript, if you have one or two bad grades. My transcript was strong and I had already been accepted to other schools, so honestly I went in pretty confident. I did this interview just for extra experience. I declined their acceptance.
